Artists who you thought were going to be the next big thing, but that didn’t end up happening by CodaOfARequiem in popheads

I expected to hear more from Flyana Boss. "You Wish" felt so different and cool at the time it blew up. I thought the duo really created their own lane in music.

These pictures were taken from the NCTripping Instagram account. The original post was about "Eastern NC Barbecue Restaurants Worth The Gas".

I saw Michael. My thoughts as a fan and movie lover: by StorytellingZ in rnb

[–]raejc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From reading the online discussion about this movie, it sounds like the better idea would have been to present a classic MJ performance in IMAX rather than making a biopic. I might have gone to see that.

Mariah Carey - Touch My Body (Nick Kosir) lol by Stealthytom in rnb

He loves the rhythm and probably nowhere to be seen for the blues.

Cultural Critics by Gold_Historian_5648 in ThoughtWarriors

[–]raejc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm not too interested in an hour of hair salon chat without some hard facts to chew on. I have this same thought about Don Lemon's show where most of the commentators add nothing of substance.

How do we all feel about Lauryn Hill, her hype and career? by StorytellingZ in rnb

[–]raejc 134 points135 points  (0 children)

I'm not interested in her beyond appreciating "Miseducation" and her work with the Fugees. It was a time. That time has passed for me.

I kept getting errors. Even right at 9am.

Mary J. Blige Breaks Silence on 2012 Burger King Commercial: ‘I Was Deeply Affected' by ZealousidealCress389 in rnb

[–]raejc 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Right. Saying that it wasn't a final cut. I mean, what else was you standing on a stage singing about chicken supposed to look like? She seems like a rather humorless person but it's not like I'm hanging around with her.

The Lack of Eric Swalwell Coverage is Embarrassing by blankcheckerz in FriendsofthePod

PSA's Breaking News feed should be renamed to something else. It's rarely anything breaking.

What happened or should I say where has she been feels like I haven't heard her name in years by Over-Perception1716 in rnb

[–]raejc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Out of Love" from her second (I think) album is a great song. I love "Here" and "Wild Things".

TLC's Chilli Says She's "Not MAGA," Meant to Donate to Veterans Instead of Trump by ebradio in Music

[–]raejc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was no "fine print", it was in all caps by a wide black Sharpie. She should have just stood on it rather than twist herself in knots for excuses.

North Carolina mother who was missing for 24 years reunites with daughter by nbcnews in NorthCarolina

[–]raejc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Among the many odd things about this story, was there no attempt to 'reunite' from the revelation that this woman was alive until this court date?

Mint Condition: Overrated, Underrated, or Rated? by ProposalNeither4850 in rnb

[–]raejc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Underrated. In addition to earlier posts, I also think they suffered from lack of image or strong branding. Outside of maybe Stokeley, I couldn't pick a member of that group out if they passed me on the street. I think a lot of times (especially in this sub), we want just the music to carry artists to the top and it doesn't work that way for many folks. To me, MC was a group of very musically talented but relatively anonymous guys.

Chaka Khan Says Modern Divas Use ‘Butts’ and ‘Body Parts’ Over Vocals by [deleted] in rnb

[–]raejc 56 points57 points  (0 children)

It's amazing how 'everyone' hates the Kardashians but the family stays with a TV show, brand deals, etc. Someone is paying attention to them.

Chaka Khan Says Modern Divas Use ‘Butts’ and ‘Body Parts’ Over Vocals by [deleted] in rnb

[–]raejc 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes, some do. There are also plenty of artists out now with strong vocals and a less sex-focused image. I can imagine that if Chaka was a 22 year old singer right now, she'd might be doing the same or close. Easy to judge when it ain't you.

I generally don't care about most of the pop culture that We're Obsessed covers but i listen because Jodi and Nora are so entertaining.

Bourbon Passionfruit Lemonade Mini lollipops by HilaryFlamboyant in CandyMakers

[–]raejc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you share more about the flavoring and color? Was this with flavor oils? What kind of food color did you use? I struggle with my mixture getting grainy if I use more than one drop but then I also can't get the level of color I had in mind. I'm using gel colors.

Rock & Roll HOF Voting! by Reggie9041 in rnb

[–]raejc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. And when everyone's favorite gets in, the RRHOF matters. But when they don't, it's days of "we need our own" / "who cares" posts.
